Baldur's Gate Baldur's Cringe 3 compilation thread

[Iucounu]

I wonder what normies playing this have played before if bloated game is mind-blowing to them. Probably only mobile games.

It may help the user reviews if anyone openly objecting to the degeneracy gets their review deleted. Not sure if their review score is still counted in that case though?

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Developers are butthurt that people aren't wallowing in degeneracy

I wouldn't fuck Shadowheart even if I was under a Geas or Compulsion to do so.
Ok, maybe if I get a bit drunk at a tavern.

 

[Reinhardt]

shadow is not the best, it's just every other option is even worse.

nigga, new stats show that cleric literally least popular class in the game. first tweet is very very old.

The very first picture is old, but the message is still true.
Instead of of a human cleric, it would be now a half-elf/human paladin.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

let's ask codex - how many of you, fags, made mc cleric?

I did. (Mostly for the extra fluff of deity selection, otherwise I'd have paladin as my goto class.)

Damn, they really went full Netflix.

How can you even stomach that narrator?

It had to be a girl narrator just in case anyone forgot that women can read too and that was pretty much the only consideration made because this company obviously doesn't care about building a strong atmosphere

She's perfectly fine doing that. If you need that male voice to get your juices flowing, your're probably a faggot.

Tone is wrong, ruins the atmosphere. Her voice would be better suited for a fairy tale.

Best narrator was Kevin Michael Richardson (Sarevok himself) in Baldur's Gate 1.
Baldur's Gate 2 and TOB also had a pretty good narrator (can't remember the name of the voice actor).

Yeah, they were pretty strong and mystery invoking, I agree.

Which female companion is that? What's her class?

 

[NecroLord]

Help me understand.
How is Shadowheart a cleric of Shar? You know, an evil deity? What alignment does she fit in?

She's a demure non-entity. Alignment doesn't exist anymore in 5e anyway.

her character arc is giving up on this shar thing and becoming wholesome chungus with a haircut change even

What the hell guys. We gave you demon eyes, horns, and even tails. We are sorely disappointed. Go crazy. We worked hard on this !

This is what's wrong, not just with this game, but with modern D&D in general.

In a setting like Planescape, making weirdness commonplace can work. In settings like the Forgotten Realms, it absolutely doesn't.

Also, while being able to give your PC weird eyes, horns or a tail might have seemed cool 15 years ago, it really seems quite banal nowadays. No wonder people prefer to make their PC a normal human.

That was always the case, in every RPG with multiple class options. You would be baffled how few people play dwarves as an example.

The best narrator was the guy who did the Disciples 2 mission briefings:

This has been a problem since 3E. When everyone can be anything, including a warlock Druid sorcerer barbarian, nothing is special.

It’s like when painting, mix too many colors and you just end up with brown. 3E, 4E, and now 5E are AD&D’s “brown period”, and BG3 is it’s magnum opus.

I'm glad I'm not alone in that. I think a narrator was unnecessary, let alone a voiced one. But it might have been an innocuous addition if done right.

But they didn't do it right. Every time I'm watching gameplay footage and I hear the narrator, I get find myself irritated. Her cadence of speech and the way she drags out certain words come together with some other quirks for a bad impression - I feel like I'm being condescended to.

I had to think of Warhammer Fantasy RP which also has a ton of "classes" but instead of a Dragonborn Celestial-Blooded Sorcerer/Ranger/Paladin you can be a Halfling Dung Shoveler/Gravedigger/Leper

I personally think that the narrator (Kelemvor) in Mask was better. Not saying KMR was bad or anything.
